Food Pyramid of the Tarahumara Ultra-Athletes - Grain-based,Anti-Paleo,96% Vegetarian,Non-Low-carb marathon clinic diet

Food Pyramid Diagram of the Tarahumara tribe of super-endurance athletes:
A Non-Paleo, Non-Lowcarb, 96% Vegetarian, 94% Vegan Diet based almost entirely on Grain.

The Food Pyramid of the Tarahumara ultra-marathon runners of Copper Canyon exposes that they are eating a plant-based diet that is 96% Vegetarian, and 94% Vegan.

The Tarahumara's diet is a GRAIN-DOMINATED diet. It contains large volumes of corn (a grain), and beans. This makes their diet effectively the opposite of the paleo diet, which forbids grains due to erroneously stating that stoneage man never ate grain. (Scientific findings now show that cavemen did indeed consume grains in the paleolithic era, revealing that the paleo diet is debunked.) 96% of the Tarahumara indians' diet is meatless, which also disqualifies anyone from calling this diet a paleo diet. The Tarahumara also eat tons of beans, not permitted in the paleo diet.

Therefore the diet of these native aboriginal super-athletes is effectively anti-paleo. This is their aboriginal natural native tribal diet. It is a 96% Vegetarian and 90% Vegan diet, and it is generating some of the healthiest and most astonishing athletes in the world.

The astonishing Tarahumara ultra-athletes eat a whopping 75% carbs, 12% complete proteins from plants such as grains, corn, and beans, and 13% fat. This is roughly equivalent to an 80-10-10 HCLF high-carb low fat diet. These super-runners eat nearly 75% carbs in their diet and are still lean, fit, and muscular, and have huge amounts of endurance. The Tarahumara on a plant-based diet can run on average further than any other population in the world, including runs of up to 435 miles in under two days. These plant-based athletes are running equivalent of 16 consecutive marathons in 48 hours.

NCBI NIH Pubmed Scientific Study: Diet of Kenyan Marathon Distance Endurance Runners

National Institutes of Health - NIH


Diet of Kenyan marathon distance and endurance runners.

Study: "Food and Macronutrient Intake of Elite Kenyan Distance Runners"

Research Authors: Pitsiladis, Y. P., Onywera, V. O., Kiplamai, F. K., Tuitoek, P. J., Boit, M. K.

Peer-Reviewed Journal: International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism


RESEARCH:


The subjects in the present study (Kenyan elite distance runners) consumed a diet with a variety of foods, mainly of vegetable origin. ( Elite marathon runners were 99% vegetarian).

This study is in agreement with other published dietary studies of endurance athletes from other countries(5,6).  (Tarahumara indians 96% vegetarian, Ethiopians 95% vegetarian)
The staple foods--bread, boiled rice, boiled potatoes, porridge, cabbage, sugar, kidney beans, milk, and ugali (corn)--collectively accounting for 88% of total diet and energy intake, with meat comprising only about 1% of total energy intake in the diet. This high contribution from vegetable sources is very similar to the 96% previously reported(5,6) [In other Kenyan studies].

The macronutrient distribution [carbs, protein, fat] of the energy intake in the current study is also very similar to the two previous studies. The 3 studies of Kenyans showed: Carbs 71%(5), 78%(4), 77% (current study); And fat 15%, 9%, 13%; And protein 15%, 13%, 10%, respectively. [Similar to an 80-10-10 plant-based diet. High carb, high grain, low fat, low protein, 99% vegetarian diet which resulted in top record-breaking marathon runners and athletes.]

Despite the number of foods, there was No evidence of any malnourishment at the micronutrient level in these studies and the foods were generally considered to be of high nutritional quality.

The most successful marathon distance runners follow a 99% vegetarian diet.

This is Study #1 of 2 fully authenticated scientific dietary analyses made down to the gram (g) of the diet of the Kenyan kalenjin elite distance runners.

The scientific nutritional analysis published in the peer-reviewed British Journal of Nutrition showed a nutrient intake for the top elite Kenyan runners that is plant-based, grain-fueled anti-paleo, and approximately 96% Vegetarian.

This is the diet that has been producing, along with other factors, some of the fittest athletes and fastest marathon and distance runners on earth.
